Empire’s season finale “Past Is Prologue” was a solid episode. Not great, but it’s just enough to get us back next season. We get so much in this finale; Jamal’s home coming party, Anika’s suicide attempt, and the dramatic fight scene between Anika and Rhonda to close the episode. We also get a few story changes; the biggest one being…. who killed Luscious’ father? This finale showers us with beautiful music only Empire can deliver! Please join us as we give our thoughts on the unique Empire season finale. www.theverdictsin.com empire@theverdictsin.com Thank you for listening!    

We loved this latest episode of Empire, "Rise By Sin". The drama and the shock and awe moments were at an all time high. The acting by all the actors were superb. There are still many question we have, and we hope they will be answered in the season finale. Will Freda go to jail for her crime? Will Lucious confess to his crimes? Now, we know that will not happen. There is a lot of talk about who push Rhonda, with the prime suspect being Anika, but we dont think it's that easy. Hakeem and Laura are planning the wedding of their dreams, but will they actually go through with it? Finally, we all want to know what Ms. Walker will tell the reporters. With only one episode left, we would love to hear from you, empire@theverdictsin.com and we will discuss on the podcast. Thank you for listening!
